Cute bathing suits!

Did you get to see Oceans? I really want to see it. I saw Earth when that came out and loved it. Oceans looks awesome. From the previews, I can't believe some of the shots Disney got. How do they do it??? It's amazing!

Thanks! "Oceans" was great!! It was breathtakingly beautiful. I could have watched it all day. I was wondering the same thing about the shots that they got. Amazing!

My kids are spaced apart. There is almost 5 years between Brent and Michelle and 9 years and 2 days between Michelle and Danielle. The only downside is I fell like I've been a Mom forever. Even thought Brent is married and almost 25 I'm in no rush for grandkids.

That's how my parents must feel sometimes. I was 19 when I got married and turned 20 by the time Madison was born. My little sister was an aunt at 13 years old. However, my parents have wanted more grandkids pretty much since Madison was born!!! Friend of my parents have 3 kids who are all grown and married. Between their two oldest kids, they have 5 grandchildren and another one on the way!!!! I think my parents hang out with them too much. They always ask when more grandchildren will be coming. My older sister and I are actually planning on having kids next summer, so that will be fun!!!

I'm in major spending mode lately. The plan was to go shopping with my older sister and buy our cousins gifts for their upcoming bridal showers. Well, since we were at the mall, I had to make a stop at Aeropostale. You see, they emailed me a $10 off coupon yesterday and it's only good for this weekend. What a pleasant surprise when I walked into the store and found out that ALL tops were 50% off!!! I had only planned on buying one more shirt, but instead, I got 2 shirts!!! PS-the background of all my pics is the throw rug in Madison's bedroom. It's a hot pink shag carpet! I love it!

Super cute, right? The one on the left is lime green. I'm totally thinking about wearing it on one of my AK days (the other day will be the leopard tank).

So, each shirt was normally $24.50 (when I looked at them last week, they were on sale for $16.99). Well, being 1/2 off, it was like buying one and getting one free. PLUS, I had my $10 off. What a deal!!! I got 2 shirts for around $15!!!!! I should really be officially done shopping for my trip, but I just KNOW there will be even more cute tops coming out over the summer. I will definately have to hold myself back.

In other shopping news, we did get our cousins gifts. It was like a wild goose chase, but we got our shopping done. We stared at Bed Bath & Beyond (got one cousin done there...we'll call her E), went to Target and ended at JC Penney. We only managed to buy cards and wrapping paper at Target and we got one item for the other cousin (we'll call her K) at Penney's. After I shopped at the mall for awhile (went to Aero and Bath & Body Works), I went BACK to Bed Bath & Beyond and finished up shopping for K.

In case you're in a shopping mood like me, Bath & Body Works has their signature items on sale for Buy 3, Get 3 Free. Their new Summer Vanillas are out and they are awesome (vanilla coconut, vanilla berry, vanilla lemon and vanilla apricot). I have 4 students that are graduating this year, so I got them each a different vanilla scent. The other 2 lotions are for me. Then, their amazing candles were Buy One get One 1/2 off, so I got two of those...one for the studio owner and one for my assistant teacher. I also bought some anti-bacterial lotions for my purse (2 for $5). I was a shopping lunatic today!!!

I'm totally exhausted from all my running around today. I could really use a nap. Before our shopping extravaganza, we met up at Panera for lunch. Delish! Madison got the kids mac & cheese with blueberry yogurt and chocolate milk. I got the chicken caeser sandwich on 3 cheese bread with a raspberry iced tea. My sis got the black bean soup with some sort of panini. Madison and I also shared a chocolate chip cookie. We ate around noon and I'm still stuffed!! I don't know how I'm going to eat dinner tonight.

Love the shirts! I just got out our summer clothes and decided I really need to do some shopping before May4th! So I might be headed to Aero myself!

I LOVE Panara!! We eat there pretty much 2x per weekend! Once for breakfast and once for lunch!

We are thinking of adding to our family too. I tried to plan out when DS was born. Wanted springtime so I could be on maternity leave in some nice weather and have the summer to get back in shape! DS had the last laugh though as he came early and was born in January!

Thanks! Aero has super cute shirts and lots to choose from. Even though a lot of my friends still shop there, I'm always surrounded by teenagers whenever in I'm the store.

Panera is SO good! I love their fresh, warm bread. Mmmmmm

Hooray for adding to your family!!! I was pregnant during the summer with Madison and it was NOT fun! August was a killer and I couldn't wait for fall to arrive. I remember it still being quite warm all Sept and beginning of October too. We actually took a long walk around Goat Island a few days before my due date. It was gorgeous outside! All that walking didn't help. I had to be induced and she was born exactly a week AFTER my due date (due date-Oct 8th; her birthday-Oct 15th). By the time we took her home from the hospital, it was freezing!!!

I love the green tank! Looks like it'll be comfy and cool for Disney! I'm sure you'll hit up some great sales at the end of the summer, right before your trip-- so that shopping can be guilt-free! I used to not be a huge Bath and Body Works fan, but they renovated ours and now it's beautiful! I love the peony scent! Last weekend, they were given out free mini bottles of hand sanitizer! I took one and they told DBF that he could take one as well
We are huuuuuge Panera lovers! My favs are the chicken ceasar salad or the baked potato soup-- always with a baguette! The soup has probably 50000 calories, but it's too delicious not to eat! Fantastic in the winter!

 

[jenny105]

Cute tops!! If I were going to Disney around the same time as you, it'd be easy to spot you.

I loooooove Panera Bread! I go there at least once a week for lunch. I always get the same thing, the 'you pick two' combo. Always the cobb salad with a different kind of soup. Their soups are sooooo good!!!

BTW - Klacey I looove your ticker! I've never seen a TSM one before, that's so cute!

Thanks, Jenny!! I love the vacationcountdowns website-- I don't remember what I had before, but I much prefer their styles!

Isn't that tank so cute? They have it in pink and navy as well. I LOVE end of summer sales! I've bought so many things for Madison at the end of the season. All of our Bath and Body Works around here are renovated and they're lovely. I love the little bottles of hand sanitizers. I have TONS of them!

The baked potato soup is amazing! I'm also a fan of broccoli cheddar. So many calories but oh so delish. The fresh baguette is always a must!

Hahaha!!! I will definately stand out in that lime green tank!

Panera is amazing. I love the pick two! I usually get a sandwich and soup combo, but it was too warm out for soup yesterday.

You will LOVE the Reefs-- they mold to your feet incredibly! I normally LIVE in ON flips, but these were the BEST for the miles we walked during our trip.

Thank you for the information! I will definitely be looking at order a pair.

Hi Meghan! Cute bathing suits for you and Madison! Treasure your last game! What a great reason to know you are ready to move on! Is Madison ready to be a big sister? I am hoping the dates for both are released too! Hopefully just over a week we will know! So glad you had a great day today! Cute tops at such a great deal!! :

Thanks! I had a FANTASTIC game last night. I didn't even cry!!!! I really just wanted to take everything in and enjoy myself. We all danced really well and we just had a great time together. My directors/really good friends said they have plans for me next season! They're not going to let me leave (which I had no intentions of doing). I'm now absolutely exhausted because we didn't get home until nearly 2am!!!

 

[lexmas]

Glad to hear your last game went well and that you enjoyed yourself!

Thanks! It was so much fun AND our team won!!! We made it into the playoffs. We don't have a home playoff game at the moment, but we could end up hosting one. The top 4 teams in each division (east and west) make the playoffs. We have the 3rd seed, so....if we win and the 4th place team wins, we'll host a home playoff game!

In other news....just when my ticker started moving, it decided to stop working. It was a ticker from the DIS, so I don't understand. So, I had to go make myself a new one. What a bummer! But, I happen to think my new one is pretty cute!

 

[swwake]

I like your new ticker and the two new tops! I will have to check out B&BW. I love their candles, so I need to get in there soon!

Thank you! B&BW candles are amazing. They smell SO good! I think they have some new summer scents out.

hey girl!! Sorry I've been mia!!

Everything going on in your life is so exciting right now! It's all a little bittersweet, but still so amazing. I wish you the best with your pregnancy and all the new transitions. I'm glad you'll still stay close to your team. I bet that's a hard decision to make, but its totally understandable.

That stinks about the whole having "soft teeth" thing. I hate dentists and all that. I'm pretty sure I have a few cavities right now and it's just super annoying. Plus, I had braces and stopped wearing my retainer eventually, but the real thing that has moved them is my stupid wisdom teeth! I need mine out sooooo badly! I feel your pain!

Hey Kimmy! Don't worry about being MIA...it happens to everyone!

There is a TON going on in my life right now. I'll be posting soon about all the craziness we have going on this summer. I'm very excited that my directors have plans in store for me next season. I can't wait!

I HATE going to the dentist (I always have and I always will). I got my wisdom teeth out in 2005 and it was not good. I ended up getting dry sockets and they were SO painful! That usually happens to smokers or if you drink through a straw while healing up. Well, I don't smoke and I didn't use a straw. I think it's the way I was trying to swallow or something like that. I hope nothing like that happens to you!

Hi everyone! Well, today is my 8 year wedding anniversary!!!! It has been the most wonderful 8 years of my life. We aren't able to celebrate today, so we went out to lunch yesterday instead. We went to Bravo (I don't know if they have those everywhere...it's an Italian restaurant) and it was delicious. We then snagged a slice of cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory and took it home for later (we got brownie sundae). It was SO good, but we couldn't finish it. So, it will be Madison's dessert tonight!

In other news....Madison lost a tooth last night!!!! She has (or should I say had) 3 loose teeth which must be so uncomfortable. At around 9:30 last night (when she should have been fast asleep), she yelled out that she just lost her tooth. I guess she kept wiggling it with her tongue and it just fell out (which is fine with me...I can't STAND loose teeth. Yuck!). So, the tooth fairy came last night and left her a dollar (whatever happened to 25 cents?). Her smile is always changing and she loves it. She can't wait to get to school and see who notices it first.

I'll probably come back later and share my crazy summer schedule with all of you. It will most likely make you all very tired just reading it!
